WELSH Assembly inspectors will hold a public inquiry into plans to demolish a garage and build sheltered apartments.

Locals have objected to McCarthy and Stone Developments, which want to level Llangollen's Bryn Melyn Motor Services on Abbey Road. In place of the petrol station and garage/bus depot, the company wants to build 36 apartments for the elderly.

Yesterday a Denbighshire council spokesman said: "The matter is subject to the appeal that will take place in the autumn."
